Romaine lettuce 'Brown Romaine'

Try to plant in a location that enjoys partial sun and remember to water often. Keep in mind when planting that Brown Romaine is thought of as tender, so remember to wait until your soil is warm and the night time temperature is well above freezing before moving outside. Planting Brown Romaine in loamy, potting mix and clay soil with a ph of between 6.2 and 6.8 is ideal for as it does best in weakly acidic soil.

Try to aim for a seed spacing of at least 11.7 inches (30.0 cm) and sow at a depth of around 0.23 inches (0.6 cm). Soil temperature should be kept higher than 5°C / 41°F to ensure good germination.

By our calculations, you should look at sowing Brown Romaine about 60 days before your last frost date.

As Brown Romaine is tender, ensure temperatures are mild enough to plant out - wait until after your last frost date to be on the safe side.
